Welcome to Belhaven and Spott Parish Church
Vacancy Announcement
At a meeting held at Belhaven on Sunday 22 June, the Nominating Committee chose the person who they wished to propose to this congregation of Belhaven and Spott in deferred union with Dunglass to be our new minister. The name of the person proposed was Alastair Stark, who has been completing his probation training at Wellesley Parish Church in Methil, Fife.
Alastair conducted public worship in Belhaven Church on Sunday 27 July, and immediately after that service, there was a vote on whether or not Alastair should be appointed as the new minister of Belhaven and Spott in deferred union with Dunglass. Anyone whose name appeared on the Electoral Registers of Belhaven and Spott or Dunglass Parish Church was entitled to vote - and that vote, which was unanimous, led to Alastair's election as our new minister! He has accepted the call, and his Ordination and Induction Service - led by the Presbytery, and followed by a Welcome Social - will be held at Belhaven on Thursday 2 October 2025 at 7 p.m.

Welcome to our website, which we hope will give you a flavour of the sorts of things we get up to – and the kind of people we are – here at Belhaven and Spott Parish Church. We are a Church of Scotland congregation, and as of 1 August 2023, what had previously been the separate congregations of Belhaven and Spott are now together as one united church.
NORMAL SUNDAY SERVICE SCHEDULE: We would love for you to visit us if you are in the area – our normal weekly worship services are on Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. at Spott, and at 11:30 a.m. at Belhaven, although normally there are no services at Spott on the 2nd Sunday of each month, and there are no services at Belhaven on the 5th Sunday of the month (in those months which have a 5th Sunday).
Whether you come along once or decide to join us regularly for worship, we hope you will find that we live up to our Mission Statement: Belhaven and Spott Parish Church is an inclusive, welcoming family. We seek through the love of God to help all people grow in faith and service, worshiping God and living out the Gospel as part of the community. Join us as we explore our relationship with God, and seek to understand our role as stewards of the world around us.
